The fallout from special counsel Robert Hur’s report related to President Joe Biden’s classified documents case has not yet abated as the nation grows even more concerned about his age and mental acuity. The White House has been struggling to figure out a strategy to counter the revelations coming from Hur’s investigation. Now, Team Biden is trotting out allies to help assure voters that he is perfectly fit for the job.

The question is: Will it work?

Several of the president’s comrades have already vouched for his ability to perform his duties.

In the days since special counsel Robert Hur released a report that described Biden’s memory as “significantly limited,” presidential appointees and friendly lawmakers have been stepping forward one by one to attest to his acuity.

Biden asks “pertinent questions” and cares about “minute details,” they’ve told news outlets. He is “very engaging” and detail-oriented. The White House went so far as to put out a memo name-checking senior officials from both parties who’ve said they found Biden to be mentally sharp.

For all the people vouching for Biden, some prominent Democrats aren’t persuaded that the approach will ease concerns about his cognitive abilities. They worry that a protective White House staff has bubble-wrapped Biden in ways that tend to distance him from people who appreciate his humanity, flaws and all.

“You need to let Joe Biden be Joe Biden,” Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., said on “The Chuck ToddCast,” taped Tuesday.

Biden has nine months before the election — time enough to refine his strategy and see if Hur’s report fades in peoples’ minds. For now, though, the special counsel has pushed to the fore Biden’s biggest electoral vulnerability — his age — and opened a high-stakes debate about his capabilities.

 “The special counsel said the quiet part out loud,” said one former Democratic House member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid angering allies.

Jeff Zients, the president's chief of staff, lauded Biden’s work ethic and competence, asserting that he “has gotten more done in three years than any other president in recent history” and that “no one works harder. No one asks tougher questions. No one is better at making decisions.”

Economic adviser Gene Sperling also gave a glowing review of Biden’s performance, touting his rigorous approach to discussions on policy. “Like a good student, you overprepare” for a meeting with Biden, he said.

Despite these assurances coming from people with a vested interest in giving them, the public can clearly see the issues Hur’s report revealed.

The post-Hur Report numbers are in for reeling Joe Biden, and they're not good. Truth be told, if you're a Democrat, they're downright terrible — even cataclysmic. According to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll, nearly nine out of 10 Americans think Biden is too old to serve another term.

According to the poll, 86 percent of survey respondents think 81-year-old Biden, who would end a second term at age 86, is too old to be reelected, which includes 59 percent of Americans who think both Biden and former President Trump, who's 77, are too old to be president.

To make matters worse for the president, media figures, influencers, and political operatives on both sides of the aisle have expressed concerns about his age and cognitive decline. The White House maintains that its strategy has not changed after the release of Hur’s report. An official said they have “always encouraged people who are actually around the president to rebut this false narrative Republicans are promoting by sharing their own experiences working for him.”

Unfortunately for Team Biden, no amount of vouching will be able to convince the American public not to believe what they can clearly see with their own eyes: The president is too addled for this job.
